Chapter 5
"So" says Sam
"So" replies Abbie.
"its
kinda hard to know where to start isnt it?" Sam says with a
nervous laugh. He didnt know what to feel, what he felt he SHOULD be
feeling. Half of him was so happy and excited at finding a new
sibling, and the other half actually resented her. Or was it Dad he
resented, for having the nerve and disrespect to keep something like
this from them? He wasnt mad at him for the relationship with
another woman, just the secret daughter.
Dean cleared his throat
awkwardly, whilst poor Abbie wished the ground would swallow her up.
This was so tense!
"Lets
start with your age" says Dean. "How old are you?"
Here we
go Abbie thinks to herself, interrogation time. Well she had some
questions she wanted answered too, so shed go along with it.
"Turned
20 February just gone, the 27th"
"Ok" says Dean. He had
gotten over the initial shock of finding out they had a sister they
never knew. His emotions warred with each other at first. Shock,
disbelief, anger. Now, the 2 remaining emotions he was busy
processing were wonder, and happiness. Family meant the world to him,
and to find out there was another Winchester, a sister on top of all
that……. Well he was just blown away. Admittedly there was a lot
of learning and getting to know to do.
"Im
23, and Dean is 27" says Sam.
"Ok cool" Abbie said. "Ya
know, I always wanted an older brother to love and protect me, used
to dream about it. Now look at me, my dreams have come true….. I
have 2" she smiled at the both of them shyly.
Dean cast a quick
glance at Sam. He gave the sketch of a smile. Dean looked at Abbie
full in the face and beamed at her. "You might live to regret
mentioning the protective part sweetheart" he said and laughed.
Abbie rolled her eyes and laughed with him.
"I can look after
myself you know, Dad taught me too"
"How often did he see
you?" said Sam. "I cant believe we all got to this age without
anyone of us getting to know"
"See? Not that often. Christmas
and birthdays when he could manage. But he called, and emailed pretty
regular"
"Who was your Mom?" asked Dean.
"Her name was
Elizabeth Ellen OConnor. She met Dad when she was 22, I was born a
year later."
"Where is she now?" asked Sam
"She died 18
years ago in a car accident when I was 2. My Grandma took me in
then"
There was a silence, during which both brothers felt a
huge wave of emotion wash over them. "I am so sorry Abbie" Sam
said.
"yeah me too. We both know how that feels. Our Mom was
killed when I was 4, Sam was 6 months old"
"Her name was Mary"
offered up Sam.
"
I never knew all this stuff, I thought I was Dads only child……
its hard, really hard to take in"
" It is for us too Abbie,
believe me" Dean says.
"How did your Mom die then?"
Silence
again. A deafening one. "Well…..its complicated"
"She was
killed by something Supernatural wasnt she?" Abbie suddenly
says
"You know everything then?" Said Sam
"About the
supernatural? You can bet your life I do. I learned early from Dad
about things that litteraly do go bump in the night"
"Well
then. Our Mom was killed by a demon. She was pinned to the ceiling,
had her stomach split, then burst into flames. Right over Sams bed"
Dean explained. It still pained him 23 years later.
Abbie looked
suitably horrified. "Im so sorry too. Looks like we have a lot in
common"
"Seems that way" Said Sam
"So
what? Your looking for Dad too yeah? I havent heard from him in 6
months. That's a long time for Dad."
"Yup" Dean replied
"Dad went on a hunting trip, and we havent heard from him for a
while"
"Hunting what?" Abbie asks
"The demon that
killed Mom."
"Right. Well. What do we all do now?" she
says.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but I sure as hell
want a coffee and some food!" laughs Dean.
Sam rolls his eyes.
"Lesson number one Abbie, Dean cant function without coffee"
"So
can bro"
"So cannot!"
Abbie looks at the 2 of them and
laughs. Her brothers. I cant believe I can say that now she thinks to
herself.
"Aaaaaaagh…….., Dad sure does father grrrrreat
looking kids Ill say that! Dean practically falls from his stool
laughing at himself.
Sam catches Abbies eyes, and both laugh with
him……………………….
